This is some great information to those of you that are using the 8566 with a Pre-selector. This was contributed by Jason Anderson. . You always set the RFPS and the SA to the same address. For example, “18” is pretty popular on the SA. So on the RFPS set the dip switches to match that address. The address chosen for the SA should always be even; the RFPS address will be the next odd address, in this case “19”. Then RFPS and SA are connected via GPIB on the private bus; nothing else should exist on that bus. The SA and RFPS are then commanded by the GPIB from the master over the public interface on the RFPS. You address the SA by using the assigned address and the RFPS by using the next odd address. For example, if the SA is 18 and the RFPS has its dip switches set to 18, you would communicate with the master device by addressing communication to address 18 for the analyzer and address 19 for the RFPS.
